Re: [MBZ] Too much Marvel Mystery Oil

Hola
Marvel is a great product for your pneumatic tools, a few drops where the 
air hose connects will improve performance and add years to the service life 
of your tools.
Adios Don

Some oil in the fuel WILL clean many fuel system deposits, will burn a 
little hotter and so burn up some accumulated carbon deposits just a 
little faster, but it should NOT be used regularly (it will coke 
injectors) and there is NO additive that will reverse wear! If you have 
injector problems, SERVICE the injectors.


If the engine is carboned up - take a LONG highway speed drive 
(preferably up hill on a hot day) so that engine temps remain high for a 
long time and the carbon deposits will burn out. There are additives 
that will increase the Cetane rating of fuel, but to use it regularly is 
NOT economical and there is little advantage to higher Cetane rating in 
older diesel engines except in very cold weather (when it will allow 
faster starting). If your older diesel requires higher Cetane fuel to 
run smoothly, there is something wrong with the engine (usually the 
injectors).


Every time I take a 500-1000 mile trip in one of my cars that's been 
largely city driven, it runs a LOT better - and a 2000-3000 mile trip is 
even better!

I would think a can or two of Diesel Purge would work
MUCH better (not in the tank, but used as prescribed).

i stopped using mystery oil with the advent of fuel injection . although i 
don't think it will hurt your 240D as it should burn it fine

[MBZ] Too much Marvel Mystery Oil

In my 83 240D I found that Marvel Mystery oil in the fuel tank helped the
injector problems(engine rough and missing).  I put a pint into less than a
full tank the last time I added it.  Will TOO MUCH Marvel make the injector
problem worse?
